There is no ceremony so impressive as
the marriage VOWS made before God and
man, and yet how often are they but
mere mockery of licentious soul If up
on the virtue of our women depends the
future of our government how rotten aud
wrecked that government must most GER
tainly be and what future is before lis.
ITO love, honor and obey;' do some of
you married folk ever stop and think what
that really means? TO love and to honor,
some of you married men and women stop
and think before you plunge still deeper
into the corruptive elements that now SUI
round You. Remember, that before God
ani man you swore ''to love, honor and
obey each other; are you doing it? If not,
you shall answer for your disregard of
heavenly injunction on the day of judgment
when all things are made known.

and Diiest
1t seems to me that parents can have
but yerY little regard for the present and
future welfare Of their offspring when they
let hem run the streets so promiscuously
at all hours OF the day and night The
very air breathes contamination, and every
hour spent on the streets in silly Irritation
and reckless conversation with married
men and strangers ieopardizes their future
earthly career as well as their chances for a
home in heaven. II is peculiar and un-
fair law OF society that will tolerate an in
individual whose very soul is filled with the
poison of dissipation and crime and stained
with the corruption of years, and yet that
so-called society will not hold out its hand
that the poor, down-trodden and oppressed
woman can raise out of the "slough of des-
pond" She is fated, let her go, poor, for
saken creature, death is her only refuge
from the sneers and taunts of society and
in many instances the church. Parents
should impress upon the minds of their
daughters the importance of leading an
upright, christian life, for, upon the virtue
of our women depends the future of our
government. Keep them off the streets
and the closing years of your life viii close
with happiness, otherwise they will even
tually bring sorrow and grief upon you.
~ peculiar characteristic of the nine
teenth century is the rapidity with which
individuals take up the popular dogmas Of
our times. No matter how pernicous in
their effect or complicated IN theory, the
latest delusion is always the most popular
with the illitcIate of every community; but
| would hot be understood to say that il is
simply the ignorant who are blinded by fine
theories and beautiful rhetoric, it would be
looked upon as unjust by the followers of
Henry George and DR.. McGlynn who claim
to be amongst the foremost thinkers of to-
day. Almost every country town has one
or two, probably half dozen advocates of
of the ground rent theory. and Lehighton
is no exception. They make it point to
circulate free land tracts. &c, with what
effect / am unable TO say. But do rot
think this new agitation will find large
following here amongst our German citi-
zens who are the owners of their own
homesteads and who appreciate and love
the aim of freedom which gives them an
existence free from the oppression of mon-

Mr., John II. Haswell Saturday presented

from May, 1901, to August, 1874, and pre-

This building was burned in August,
1914, by the British forces under Gen. Ross,
and the department then took up Its quar-
tiers In a small brick building on the spot
now occupied by the north wing OF the
Treasury Department. The partially con-
sumed building was then reftted for the
uses OF the Navy Department, TO which
purpose 1t was devoted until 1874, when 1t
was torn down to make way for the
buildings occupied by the Navy and War
Departments, and they in turn made way
for the magnificent structure now west OF
